Dear media friends, Dato' Abdul Hamid Bador, former Deputy Director of Special Branch will hold a press conference on 21st Aug at Bukit Aman after Friday prayers to explain Tun Mahathir involvements in the doctoring and fabrication of 1MDB documents to attack and topple the Prime Minister. After that Dato Hamid will lodge a police report with all evidences for Tun Mahathir to be charged under Section 124 Panel Code along with Claire Brown.

Senior Special Branch officer gets sudden transfer to PM’s Dept, told to go on long leave
BY YISWAREE PALANSAMY

A special ceremony was conducted behind closed doors in Bukit Aman earlier today, which saw Abdul Hamid passing on the baton as deputy director of the police intelligence agency to an assistant, Datuk Mohd Haniff Hanudin. — Picture by Yap Tzu GingKUALA LUMPUR, Aug 19 — In another abrupt change within government agencies, Datuk Abdul Hamid Bador was today transferred out of the Special Branch (SB) and into the Prime Minister’s Department where he will head a new security division reporting directly to Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

A special ceremony was conducted behind closed doors in Bukit Aman earlier today, which saw Abdul Hamid passing on the baton as deputy director of the police intelligence agency to an assistant, Datuk Mohd Haniff Hanudin who was heading a unit called E4 that deals with the political extremist threat.

Abdul Hamid confirmed the transfer when contacted, but said he was in the dark on the reasons for his abrupt work shift.

“No… they just told me to go to JPM, so I go to JPM lah,” he told Malay Mail Onlinewhen contacted, using the Malay abbreviation for the Prime Minister’s Department.

“No reason given and I just received the letter yesterday… earlier today, there was a ceremony to hand over my duty.”

He added that he would take up his new duties at the Prime Minister’s Department on September 2, as he was currently on leave from work.

Malay Mail Online understands Abdul Hamid was ordered to go on “long leave” before assuming new duties as the head of a new security and transnational crime division under Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak.

Contacted today, Bukit Aman confirmed Abdul Hamid’s transfer and that the latter is on leave but denied knowledge on his next posting.

Abdul Hamid’s promotion is the latest change to take place within the SB following last month’s shock Cabinet reshuffle, which saw Datuk Seri Mohamad Fuzi Harun replacing Datuk Seri Akhil Bulat as SB director. - MalayMailOnline

There has been some desperate attempts to sabotage the Special Branch Deputy Director's intended Press Conference (as notified via the WhatsApp message above) by individuals known to be Najib Razak's 'operators' and their lackeys in the media circle. As desperate situations demand desperate measures the identity of the said individuals could be exposed if the situation warrants.

Below is the fake message being spread by the said individuals. Its FAKE.

THIS MESSAGE IS A FAKE! - "Dear media friends, Dato' Abdul Hamid Bador, former Deputy Director of Special Branch will hold a press conference on 21st Aug at Bukit Aman after Friday prayers to explain Tun Mahathir involvements in the doctoring and fabrication of 1MDB documents to attack and topple the Prime Minister. After that Dato Hamid will lodge a police report with all evidences for Tun Mahathir to be charged under Section 124 Panel Code along with Claire Brown".

Global Financier Relocates.....

18 Aug 2015Sarawak Report has now reliably established that the global
financier, self-styled philanthropist and international party lover,
Malaysia’s Taek Jho Low, has relocated to Taiwan.The news is likely to provoke considerable dismay amongst the
Crystal-drinking Las Vegas nightclub set and trendy Hollywood pals like
Leonardo di Caprio.However, those in the know confirm he has become rooted in the island
state and appears to have jettisoned his previous Hong Kong base and
hyper-active travel schedules for several weeks.We also understand that Mr Low’s motivation for curtailing his
formerly febrile jet-setting habits and sticking unflinchingly to terra
firma these days in Taipei, owes to the republic’s reputation as an
extradition blackspot.

US Citizen – two passports!

Paying for the party – Jho Low relies on magnums of Crystal..

In particular, Taiwan is untouched by the jurisdiction of the United
States, with which it has not had diplomatic relations since 1979.This is significant, because Sarawak Report can now definitively
reveal that Jho Low has not just one American passport, but two.The numbers of these passports are A10690483 and A19877008. Neither
of course are legal for a Malaysian to possess, owing to the country’s
strict citizen laws.Under US law Jho Low can possess two passports. However, as he is now
an American citizen he is also subject to American laws, particularly
with respect to money laundering proceeds of corruption through the US
financial system.

Wanted – sort of….

Several bodies of investigators from different jurisdictions have
recently started to indicate that they would be extremely pleased to
talk with Mr Low, as they believe he could help them with their
enquiries with respect to a number of lines of investigation into the
missing millions from Malaysia’s development fund 1MDB.Jho Low was the link man for the initial 1MDB PetroSaudi joint
venture, for example, which was something he initially sought to
adamantly deny.He was also the link man with Abu Dhabi fund Aabar with which he
conducted a number of private deals at the same time that Aabar was
doing very well indeed out of its entirely passive role as an advertised
parter of 1MDB on several of its big investments.The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has signalled its interest
in speaking to Mr Low on these matters, as has the Parliamentary
Accounts Committee (presently suspended owing to the actions of the
Prime Minister).

Safe in Malaysia?

It is believed that discreet enquiries are now also being made by
certain US regulators into such matters, who might also be seeking his
whereabouts.On the other hand, of course, Malaysia’s Inspector General of Police
has yet to do anything so uncouth as to rush into court and execute an
arrest warrant for Mr Low, let alone attempt to place him on Interpol’s
Red Alert list for people wanted for enormous crimes, such as the
stealing of billions of dollars of public money.Malaysia’s IGP has restricted such actions merely to outfits like
Sarawak Report, who provided the initial details into the missing money
and sparked all these pesky investigations, which he and Najib are now
doing their best to close down.In fact, after the recent clamp downs by Najib and the new concept
being promoted by his new ministers that the PM and his friends should
be considered to be above the law, might not Malaysia turn out to be Jho
Low’s safest haven?Apparently not, in Jho Low’s estimation.It is understood that the Penang born multi-billionaire feels nervous
that the rest of the population might feel less charitable towards him
as the evidence of their missing billions escalates, taxes rise and the
ringgit plummets. He seems settled in Taipei.

Off-shore accounts

Of particular concern to Jho Low will be the fate of his off-shore money and foreign accounts.

Brushstroke by Roy Lichtenstein…. worth around a million bucks

His accounts at the BSI Bank in Singapore have already been frozen.
Sarawak Report now understands that a network of accounts in the Island
of Guernsey (British Channel Islands) are also now suspended, pending
investigation.The relevant authorities have reported that they believe that the
contents of these accounts may represent the proceeds of corruption.It will plainly be extremely sad and dull for the jet-setting Mr Low
to have to clip his wings like this and remain doggedly in Taiwan for
the coming future. However, despite such potential financial woes, he
appears to have continued spending for his friends and foundations over
the past months of scrutiny.At San Tropez last month his money still flowed sufficiently from
afar to supply a fabulously expensive Lichtenstein sculpture for a fancy
eco-charity auction run by his fellow philanthropist cum hard party
buddy Leonardo Di Caprio.

Low has also been pouring money into the UN, which has stood by its
right to accept millions from this generous funder of its programmes for
training journalists:

” The recently announced partnership with the Jynwel
Foundation will help the UN Foundation contribute to what has been
called “the biggest communications challenge and opportunity of our
generation” – the urgent need to create an environment that will help
the world achieve success on the most ambitious anti-poverty agenda in
history. The new “global goals” – often referred to as the Sustainable
Development Goals — will be the most comprehensive plan in history to
fight poverty and create prosperity while protecting the planet. With
the support of the Jynwel Foundation and other partners, the UN
Foundation will be able to encourage a global discussion around the
goals through increased level of media reporting, capacity building and
training for journalists” [UN Foundation Spokesman statement to Sarawak
Report]

It is ironic that the journalists whom Jho Low’s money will help to
train would get short shrift in his native Malaysia, should they dare to
tackle such matters as corruption in high places.It is also of growing concern that this money for “tackling poverty”
via the UN’s media programme is currently being investigated in relation
to a massive plunder from Malaysia’s own development fund. We have tried warning the UN and indeed other recipients of Jho Low’s largesse, but they have not been listening have they! -SARAWAK REPORT

This latest report is certainly a positive development for Malaysia and our Malaysian authorities who have been hunting high and low for Jho Low.

Certainly the details provided by SarawakReport could shed greater light into the whereabouts of one of top three guys on Malaysia's current WANTED list pertaining to the ongoing investigation into the multibillion ringgit 1MDB related scandals.

The other two WANTED individuals are Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil (centre) and Datuk Suboh Mohd Yassin.

All three are required to assist in providing information on the transfer of funds from a former 1MDB subsidiary – SRC International Sdn Bhd – which is now a unit directly under the Finance Ministry.(SRC had borrowed RM4 billion from the the public retirement fund Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (KWAP) in 2011.)Suboh and Nik Faizal are shareholders of Gandingan Mentari Sdn Bhd, one of the two companies used as a conduit to transfer accounts from SRC to a private bank account in AmBank.-TheSun

Since the MACC have resumed their investigations, after a minor hiccup following a now suspended police investigations and another revoked transfer order on investigators, the graft busters could now make the necessary legal preparations to extradite Jho Low or dispatch MACC officers to Taiwan to interrogate him.

By the way, don't we already know where the other two fugitives are?

It must be emphasised here that there is a need to update the Malaysian public on this particular case on a regular basis due to the sheer size of public funds involved in the scandal plus the fact that there has been obvious attempts to scuttle this investigations.

To recap SRC International took a massive RM4 billion loan from Retirement Fund Incorporated or Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (KWAP) and the loan is guaranteed by the Government of Malaysia. So this is not merely a matter confined to your kitchen cabinet.

Public perception is that there have been repeated attempts to sabotage investigations into SRC because Prime Minister Najib Bin Tun Abdul Razak is directly implicated in the case. Nik Faisal's link to Najib and his role in the scandal cannot possibly be covered even with the biggest of the big leaves.

The suspicious removal of previous Attorney General Tan Sri Gani Patail who was heading a Task Force investigating SRC International and the subsequent disbanding of the Task Force itself have only lend credence to the notion that there is indeed a conspiracy to protect those involved in this financial scandal.

Malaysians, and I'm sure the international community too, are watching this 1MDB scandal and all other related cases very closely.

The interest in this case is much greater now after news broke out of the RM2.6billion anonymous donation received by Najib Razak. Pundits are predicting that the Malaysian Prime Minister could be making his way into the Guiness Book of World Records under the 'largest donation receipient' category.

1MDB/PetroSaudi/SRC is certainly not a curi ayam case in some remote village in the interiors of Pekan where you could pay a few dollars more to settle a minor crime.

Naturally those involved in any crime would be very worried, especially now since even the Americans have started their probe into suspected money laundering. The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Singapore Police are also into similar investigations, I was told.

PAS deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said today PAS will support a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, as mentioned by the party's elections director Datuk Mustafa Ali. "If there is a no-confidence vote moved against the prime minister, PAS will join in as the actions by 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and answers on the RM2.6 billion donation clearly cannot be accepted by the people," he said. - Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man

It was a mega conspiracy which briefly became an old man's plot before re-emerging as a conspiracy again. It is touted as actions detrimental to parliamentary democracy.

Initially the tale was presented with much awe, with the alleged involvement of retired top notch politicians, foreign nationals, a media magnate and his entire stable of media outfits and even a former Prime Minister's aide. The infamous and totally untrustworthy fugitive blogger who has now transformed into Najib Razak's greatest lover was among the first to spin the tale.

Xavier Justo, who never tampered or falsified any 1MDB-PetroSaudi documents or the fugitive blogger's outrageous Statutory Declaration, was also thrown into the plot. When Justo was arrested in Thailand for some other crime, the jesters went into overdrive trying to humour the thickhead. The thickhead thought he had successfully covered his tracks and fooled the people.

As the thickhead is such he couldn't understand why the people refused to believe a single word that he and his jesters were saying, while fresh evidence and expose of the thickhead's numerous crimes against the nation continued.

In recent weeks the conspiracy to topple the government via actions detrimental to parliamentary democracy by utilising Justo's tempered/fabricated/falsified documents on 1MDB-PetroSaudi scandal has all but died. Justo's sentencing to a three-year jail by a Thai Court for blackmailing his employer must have nailed it tight. Justo seems to be a forgotten part of the play now.

Suddenly we have another conspiracy or a plot to topple the government through the back door, or so say a few jesters who could soon be promoted as junior thickheads for their ability to outperform even the best of clown from the Three Stooges.

Initially it was an old man. A retired, old but influential politician. Then it was the old man, a lawyer, a yellow A4 paper and about 20 other Members of Parliament from the coalition which the lame-duck Prime Minister leads. We still don't know who the old man is but MPs openly accused as being part of the conspiracy by another jester of an anonymous blogger has drawn multiple police reports. Watch closely how the police, particularly the Inspector General of Police, treats these reports compared to the fresh reports alleging another round of 'actions detrimental to parliamentary democracy'.

This latest conspiracy tale is nothing but another attempt to hoodwink the people. Everybody knows it and a few have come forward to educate certain politician/ministers.

The action of Members of Parliament getting together in private to deliberate on the state of affairs of the nation is not a crime. It is certainly not a conspiracy or a plot. It is the right thing to do and it is provided for under the law.

If more than half of the 222 elected representatives of the people from throughout the nation who have been allowed to sit in Dewan Rakyat as Members of Parliament decide that Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak is unfit to lead the Government then the Prime Minister must step down. That is the law, it is NOT A CRIME.

Lately shouts of 'over our dead body' by a minister reverberated threatening those who dared to break ranks to bring down a government via the backdoor. Please confine such threats within the party for party members. It may be an offence within the party, Umno/BN, to break ranks but do take note that desperate times requires desperate measures.

If you ask me 'Are we in a desperate situation now? I might slap you or get someone to recruit you as the thickhead's jester because you must be an undisputed idiot.

MCA vice-president Gan Ping Sieu who is also a former Deputy Minister explains the provisions in a simple way in his Facebook.

Some friends ask me, what are the ways that a sitting Prime Minister can be unseated?

If you believe in the rule of law and the constitutional process, which i no doubt defend, a sitting prime minister can only be "removed" when he loses the confidence of the majority elected members of Parliament.

If you feel, as I do, that despite his earlier efforts as an inclusive and an open liberal minded PM, our PM has

- lost the moral legitimacy to lead the Government of the day,

- could no longer resolve the crisis of confidence that the Government and the Nation are facing, and yet

-- political process doesn't seem to be able to bring about immediate changes ?

Well, please express your honest view to your MP, both in private and public; even organize a petition to ask your MP to take a clear and unequivocal stand whether he or she still think that our PM should continue to serve.

That will be a democratic process one could take. ..or to be a sitting duck and to wait for GE to cast your vote of discontent.

Of course,one is at full liberty and has full political right to defend our PM and accords him the benefit of doubt and express one's confidence in him.

The choice is ours.

Do remember, the mandate of PM and MPs all come from the People.

~~~~~~

"The Government is not legitimate,unless it is carried on with the consent of the governed." ....John Locke, 《Two Treatises of Government》

a

So, attempting to remove a Prime Minister who has - lost the moral legitimacy to lead the Government of the day, could no longer resolve the crisis of confidence that the Government and the Nation are facing is not a crime. It is in fact national service. A service to Malaysia and her people.

If the IGP and others are still hungry try probing deeper into the recent statements and media interviews of Datuk Haji Abdul Rahman Dahlan the Member of Parliament for Kota Belud and Minister in the Federal Cabinet.

Abdul Rahman Dahlan may have exposed the actual CONSPIRACY, plot and a host of definite actions seriously undermining parliamentary democracy in our nation.

It is obvious now that even the Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Dr Ali Hamsa has lied to justify the recent removal of Attorney General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail. By Abdul Rahman Dahlan's admission, Gani was not removed because he was sick. Gani was removed because the Prime Minister was about to be charged for a crime against this nation. This was what Rahman Dahlan said.

Please be reminded that Rahman Dahlan is also the Strategic Communications Director of Barisan Nasional. He said Najib had to 'take people out' after realising that there was a criminal charge being finalised against him.

So, who are the conspirators and what really is the conspiracy?

Who decided that the move to charge Najib was a conspiracy or a plot?

Have the police instituted any action or investigation based on Abdul Rahman Dahlan's admission. Why is the often talkative IGP silent on this revelations?

I'm not a fan of Lim Kit Siang (He has evenblocked me on Twitter as in the case of numerous other Opposition politicians after heated exchanges in the past) but I fully agree with the veteran DAP leader'scall for Abdul Rahman Dahlan's arrest.

If we are really keen to expose the real conspiracy to rob the nation and fool the people with lies and deception via deliberate abuse of power and position, we can. As Gan Ping Sieu rightly put it, to be a sitting duck is also our choice.

Those of you who are blowing your trumpet threatening everything that moves including Members of Parliaments against the wishes of an overwhelming majority of the 30-odd million Malaysians please take note that you may inadvertently be the biggest promoters of street demonstrations.

If you try to scuttle basic democratic rights of the people, via their elected representatives in this case, as provided for under any Parliamentary Democracy, you will just fuel greater public anger.

Bersih is just around the corner. Don't push those still reluctant Malaysians to the streets.Thank You!

Hey Big Spender!

17 Aug 2015

Najib used both a Visa and a MasterCard on the 2014 holiday splurge

Prime Minister Najib Razak splashed over US$1 million on his credit
cards during the month of August in the year following the election,
according to information received by Sarawak Report.The spending took place in Europe while he was on a summer holiday.

For most people to run up such a bill on mere expenses while on
holiday would seem astounding, but the Prime Minister has always
declined to explain how such conspicuous spending has been funded.

The bills were run up on two cards Najib was using in August 2014, a Visa and a MasterCard from CIMB & Maybank.

Over RM2.8 million was spent from the MasterCard and around RM500,000
was splashed on the Visa in just the one month. Sarawak Report has
further details.

Where does Malaysia’s ‘First Family’ get all their money?

Baubles and bags… costing millions…

This is just the latest information about conspicuous spending by
Najib and his wife, but it comes after Malaysia was left wondering why
he had transferred US$650 million out of the country, from money which he had earlier explained a donation to UMNO.

The Prime Minister and his wife have attracted world-wide scrutiny
caused by their ostentatiousness. In the United States news has seeped
out of a jaw-dropping bill covering Rosmah’s stay at the Hotel Bel-Air,
Beverly Hills, while spending Christmas with her son Riza in 2013.

Her bill for a week’s stay at the Hotel was over US$300,000, reliable sources have informed us.

Hollywood luxury…. but most guests don’t spend US$300,000 on a visit.

There have been numerous other reports of eye-catching spending,
including the millions spent this year on the couple’s extended wedding
celebrations for Rosmah’s daughter and a series of expensive houses
purchased for Riza Aziz in the United States.

Last month Sarawak Report detailed how Rosmah’s fabled addiction to buying hugely expensive jewellery is managed through the same businessman who has been identified as the Prime Minister’s proxy at 1MDB, Jho Low.

It would therefore be incumbent on any Prime Minister in a country
governed by the rule of law to give an account with regard to the series
of unsustainable claims that have recently been made about supposed
anonymous and secret ‘donations’ to UMNO in his personal account and
missing billions from 1MDB being held in ‘units’ in banks.

Rosmah’s favoured New York yellow diamond seller…

Najib Razak has noticeably failed to deny our statement last week
that over US$650 million were transferred back from his personal account
in KL, supposedly managing the secret ‘donation’ from an anonymous
source on behalf of UMNO, to the account in Falcon Bank in Singapore
from where US$681 had originally been paid.

Our information is that there was in fact over a billion dollars from
various sources in this particular AmPrivate Bank account in KL,
belonging to Najib, in the period preceding what has been widely
recognised as a bought election.

The US$650 was what remained when he closed the account in August 2013.

The Prime Minister has now after weeks of implied denial admitted the
payment into this account of US$681 million, but is remaining silent
over our latest information about where the remainder of this and the
other sums was transferred.

Najib the centre of attention on the PetroSaudi yacht in 2009 – he was the rainmaker after all.

He has also provided no evidence of a shred of accountability over
the expenditure of money that he says he was holding on behalf of the
party and “not for personal use”.

Instead, his supporters have started to imply that a Malaysian Prime
Minister (unlike for example a US President) should be considered to be
above the law in and that any attempt to investigate this matter should
be treated as a crime, rather than any crime itself.

The same supporters are now also claiming that the hallowed tradition
of a vote of no confidence in a Prime Minister (used as the standard
tool in parliaments across the world for getting rid of duds) should
also be considered and illegal and unconstitutional device in Malaysia
against Najib Razak.

The rest of Malaysia, however, will be forced in the absence of
credible explanations to make inevitable deductions regarding the
unexplained disappearances of public money and the coincidental but
equally unexplained conspicuous spending of the person who was last
handling it. - Sarawak Report

I think its high time for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak to take legal action against Sarawak Report for telling lies and reporting absurd stories about him, his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and Datin Seri's son Reza Aziz.

This time around they are also reporting about Najib's credit card expenses. This is a BIG no. How could Sarawak Report do that? There must be a leakage somewhere.But wait, don't waste time on small flies. Sarawak Report's informers and moles can't sort this out, unless they have been fabricating evidence or tampering documents. Even Xavier Justo has not tampered or fabricated evidence as alleged earlier.

Obtaining a warrant of arrest against Sarawak Report editor and journalist Clare Newcastle Brown that could not be served or executed is also just as good as sending a wish list to Santa Claus.

If whatever that Sarawak Report has reported so far, especially those abuse of power/corruption/money laundering/cheating and treachery allegations are nothing but fabricated lies against Najib and family then the Prime Minister has no choice but to sue Sarawak Report.

Blocking access to Sarawak Report is not a solution. In fact blocking the site has now made it more popular that it is available through so many other platforms and sites (I get my feed through FB, Twitter and smartphone social messaging applications now while previously you had to search for the site on the WWW).

Whoever came up with the idea of blocking access to Sarawak Report, without any justification from MCMC to-date, have certainly not done the Prime Minister a favour (if that was indeed the intention).

Suppose the Prime Minister's lawyers are still busy seeking expert advice/opinions/etc before suing the Wall Street Journal for its reports about the detailed money trail of approximately RM2.6 billion making its way into his personal account, may I also suggest for the learned lawyers to include Sarawak Report in their list of 'those who must be sued' to clear Najib's name.

Remember that this is not just about Najib the son of an illustrious former Prime Minister. It is very much about a serving Prime Minister of Malaysia and his flamboyantly popular wife and her son. How dare Sarawak Report talk about our first lady's handbags.
